how much are you willing to pay for such promising profiling?
I think before you can profile anyone, you have to find them first I guess. It is like the ocean where you know there are a lot of fish out there, but exactly where they are is the problem. How else is a better way than to be able to glance where these people you seek than where they are being pooled so you then see if they are the ones you truly are interested in. And then of course, these paid sites, they do that. The matching job is done by them and then they arrange that first date or meeting to actually investigate if they are truly whom you expected per your "order"?
Now I imagine that in a personal level without having used the web to find them, it is not the same in the sense where in you meet this people through friends, through parties, at random like at grocery store, etc. etc. The level of that first attraction is a factor to want to get to know that person.
Not too many people are keen on that mode of introduction but before there was any INTERNET, that was the only way of finding that special someone.
But here we are... here talking, conversing through the web..and we never know until we are found...My guess.
Track don't self deprecate yourself too much. You might think you are ugly because she, that is meant and is waiting for you is still somewhere trying to get to you.
When I engaged everyday phone call and writing to my love then, (about 4 hours a day) boy didn't we spend tons of money on the bill as skype was not available yet. After 90 days of establishing a great chemistry, I flew in 13,000 miles to go and finally meet him and all the stars sparked and like a lightning we both felt like there was no other.
Yes, that physical and mental as well as emotional chemistry has to align to produce enough energy to sustain the challenges of long distance relationship. I have no regrets and until today, I would still say it is the most beautiful change I went through my life.
I agree with you. We are here for so many reasons. For me, just like in the beginning when I joined, it is still the same. I am here for the writings and for learning. I used to read a lot and go to the movies a lot. Now I find my time here so entertaining and engaging. Sometimes there are those that just tick the hell out of you but just the same, it is fun and it is free.
One of my friend was actually a member of those local dating sites which cost a lot of money in the Bay Area and she met her husband there who is a very well respected elite member of the Business Sector and she said that they had a very strict system in ensuring the success of the couples they connect. All the preliminary investigation is done by the company and the member has to show proof of his identity as well proof of what he claims he is. Then they connect them together and the success rate is very high.
Perhaps the price of such an exposure is so expensive but so much better for the result I guess.
I am not quite into that. I personally didn't even think of meeting anyone to love on here but it just happened. I think what works for some doesn't always mean it works for everyone.
I don't see anything wrong in sharing his experience. The OP asked a very personal question and it is enlightening to hear on all sides.
But on your very insinuating question, perhaps he has both, a good marriage which supports his claim, and freedom which makes it even better.
Just because a married person is here doesn't mean he's going through struggles especially if the pictures display a beautiful smiling pose which is indicative of a very healthy and happy union, no?
When I was with my love, we proclaimed the world our beautiful love and like them, posted our pictures together. While it ended for reasons I'd rather not share, it was most passionate and almost divine.
At least you know what you'll be and very darn blunt to share us. I admire your courage my friend. But maybe like I have always said, POLITICS SHAME YOU, and no matter your good intentions, the evils of which that breed upon will wring you.
It's so funny how AL Gore and his schemes are mentioned. Boy what a fiasco he put us into. Like some kind of moronic kids and just believe in his lies.
Okay, so who's your woman choice for the job? If I may ask. Thanks for joining in.
Thank you for joining in. Yes I wasn't looking. I was already living alone after 28 years of good marriage and was just writing when my best friend of 35 years informed me about a place to write. Upon finding that it's a DATING site I immediately dismissed the idea. It took her three attempts to get me to sign in and informed me not to post any pictures. I did and put NOT LOOKING. But a fellow poet and I were just spiritually connected and from there forged a beautiful almost divine relationship.
We learned a lot from each other and I believe even today our souls are together even if we're physically separated.
A MOST beautiful memory iz what we share and so it shall be.
eve that the best way is to go out in the world and meet somebody in person. I personally am unable to experience chemistry on a computer. Body language, tone of voice, eyes, all that. I think it's a shame that nobody talks anymore, they text. No companies answer their phones, a machine does. At the store, you can check and pay for your groceries without someone at the counter. Give me the human factor anyday.
Well if looks like with the trend carried out by technology, it seems then that we're more pulled in by the power of technology?
But I know what you mean, live it is.
I know how you mean the ability to feel and touch him or her that attract us almost as instant as we meet them. It also allows us to know that they're for real?
I can relate to that. I believe the gravitational pull of those that attract our attention is in relation to our efforts responding to them. Having said that, would that give any equation to scammers? Of which we're warned very strongly?
When you listen to the upload of Stringnan, you're going to have more shared account on the page. I believe we're more given credible accounts now than before, hence the proliferation of new wave.
It is a very difficult topic to handle as it cuts through the realms of a most sensitive account against humanity.
And while I agree there are those that are just plain cold, heinous criminals yet our process is so complicated and very expensive. I do favor on a case to case basis.
There are people that can be rehabilitated, perhaps that is why it is called CORRECTION facility? But for the same token there are truly hard core no good for anything that deserve to be just as dead. I am so cautious on this one Sandra.
Indeed, what happened to the saying that goes: For every good president, there is a good woman? And vice versa? Can we make her accountable for her husband's poor performance?
Is our chances in meeting a true and good partner better here? Or in real life? Or what about from a free dating site as opposed to a very expensive and exclusive one?
NOTE: On one of my flights to Australia, couple of years ago, One of the exclusive magazine published a dating site that is not only unique in the presentation but for the same token it costs very expensive to be a member.
One of the high lights on the story (not an ad) was how they guarantee your chances in finding exactly who you are looking for, including but not limited to career, economic and social status...
Of course, I didn't have to be enticed, I found my true love here at CS. FOR FREE.
Thank you CS.
Thank you all for your participation and or contribution. In agreement or not.
And another thing: My scenario, the cost to go to a foreign country let us say about $2,500. Your hotel, your marriage license, your dowries, etc.etc..in terms of your financial capability surely you would have known where it will end? Married right? Now that is limited depending on your financial worth.
But the COST OF AN EXPERIENCE JUST TO BE WISER.....PRICELESS...DON'T YOU THINK?
So if I were you, charge your lost to a very valuable lesson. JMHO.
I personally believe this to be true. Anything that we do whether in marriage, in business, in sports or anything, there is no guarantee. Risk is a risk.
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE IN THAILAND AND OR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Would have you been sadder and or feel better if you were robbed by the same Thai woman in your place? Just asking..
NOTE: I heard there are so many countries that are banned to be a member here at CS due to an astronomical number of SCAMMERS... Philippines is one of them, I guess..
I am not sure how much extent of power our country has my dear friend, but when it comes to going to other countries whether you choose to live or not is very much easier than coming in. I have traveled the world and just by our US passport, it is so easy to go in and out on most part of the world. In some European Countries, we don't need no visa as long as it is to go and visit and should one opt to go and live, there is a very little requirement to be met.
When I traveled in Australia for almost two years. Flown there several times and not a single visa is required. Other citizens of the world would do that other than the first world and it would be a totally different set up. My own experience. If you and I go to Asia, granting of course that you hold a US passport which is an indication of your citizenship, it is way too easy for you to go to these countries. Living might be a different story but I imagine, it wouldn't be that difficult.
On the one hand, your method of response to this serious problem might not work unless we all erase the borders, which I doubt to happen anytime in the future.

For anyone to be well above security in any endeavor taken, one must have a systematic method where in the results are projected. Now if you are making your experience as a type cast and or stereotyped analysis like I understand Ken's point then you are victimized due to ignorance.
In any case it should not limit to pinpoint on such a bad fate just because of the origin of the place you got robbed off.
The question I have for you, is during the duration of your so called being robbed, were you a willing victim? Or were you expecting of a grand result due to your RARE AND UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE?
Didn't Anna Nicole Smith got robbed of so much inheritance? As she thought of aggrandizing her life for marrying an old man? No?
Let it be noted that there is nothing wrong living anywhere in the world provided there is no law that is violated. It is very evident that the way these illegal immigrant has done is truly in violation of our laws. How can it be alright to live in any country that was violated in the first place? And, what is the impact it does to other countries of the world?
We all know, USA is one mighty country which offers a sure success in reaching our dreams, materializing our ambitions, achieving our aspirations, building a successful future, but we don't have to do it at the expense of our valued citizens who worked hard the lawful way to get here. MHO.
When I was in Switzerland in the early 80s and the immigration had a knowledge of such a report, almost instantaneously, the law enforcer is there to deport them right away. Here? even after finding out that they are, they are given so much benefits, including but not limited to providing them LICENSE TO DRIVE (new) and even welfare? Now why not just chance the law then and make it tailored to what Obama is doing?
